Customer Reviews

A fun, but light color. Like other J. Herbin inks I've tried, it washes out of
pens well, flows well, but can be a bit feathery. Even on fountain pen friendly
papers like Clairefontaine and Rhodia. This ink would be fun to put in a
refillable brush pen to use as a highlighter. Using a fine-nibbed pen or smaller
makes for nearly illegible writing. I ended up using mine more for art than
actual writing.
